Dubbing these “closed timelike geodesics” (CTGs), Ralph and Sajeendran explain in the paper: “Such a CTG would be ideal for ...

Recently, the James Webb Space Telescope observed signals that moved faster than the speed of light. Does this mean that faster-than-light travel is real? If not, what explai ...

What was once pure science fiction is edging toward scientific possibility. Researchers worldwide are exploring warp drive ...

The Last Starship #1! After 59 years, the most important era in Star Trek history has officially come to an end. IDW’s new ...

Imagine you’re in a car driving across the country watching the landscape. A tree in the distance gets closer to your car, passes right by you, then moves off again in the distance behind you. Of ...

The idea of warp drive—the ability to travel faster than the speed of light—has fascinated humanity for decades. It began as a fictional concept in Star Trek and Star Wars, fueling imaginations and ...

Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to ...

Albert Einstein better be watching his back. Physicists have added fuel to a fire that could destroy one of Einstein's fundamental notions: Nothing travels faster than the speed of light. Well, back ...

The light echo around the star V838 Monocerotis as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope in November 2005. When I was a teenager, I was—shockingly, I know—deeply nerdy. At a science-fiction convention, I ...

Scientists at CERN, the famous Geneva-based physics lab, have just called into question one of the most hallowed equations in physics: E = MC2. Scientists, the AP explains, have clocked subatomic ...

When some scientists at CERN thought they'd shown neutrino particles traveling faster than the speed of light last year, they announced they'd maybe wobbled the laws of physics. On Wednesday, they ...
